SODUS AREA RESTAURANTS
1. Orbakers4793
NY-104, Williamson, NY 14589
Open
since 1932, this drive-in restaurant has a distinct ‘60’s diner feel - complete
with tons of burger options and malts to die for. Orbaker’s is the perfect stop
for a quick lunch or dinner if you’re in a hurry. While known for their
all-American grill options like burgers, hot dogs and fries, the restaurant
also serves a nice variety of sandwiches, wraps, salads, and even steak. Or,
Orbaker’s is a great stop if you’re craving an ice cream cone – they offer
soft-serve as well as dozens of Perry’s hard icecream flavors to choose from –
perfect for a hot summer day! Seating available at the bar and outside, as well
as their semi-new air-conditioned dining hall addition.
2.
El Rincon6974 Ridge Rd, Sodus NY 14551
If
you like Mexican food, El Rincon is the place for you. This restaurant serves
the most authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine we have ever had – and for an
affordable price, too. The influx of migrant workers in the Sodus area due to
the seasonal fruit farming industry allowed for the inception of this delicious
eatery. And the inside is filled with festive decorations – bright colors and
cultural ornaments that, when paired with the authentic dishes, will make you
feel like you stepped right into Mexico.
If
you’re planning a party or get together with friends, and need a catered meal –
look no further than Bad to the Bone Barbeque. Known for their authentic,
down-home barbecue cooking, the restaurant has won trophies for the best
barbeque food in Rochester on multiple occasions. Barbecue chicken, pulled
pork, ribs, corn on the cob, potatoes, corn bread…all staple entrees and sides
available for catering or eating in. Bad to the Bone also offers other options
like fried chicken, fish, and even sandwiches or burgers.
4. Steger
Haus7171 N Geneva Rd, Sodus, NY
Looking
for a nice sit-down restaurant, and in the mood for something a little
different? Steger Haus is a great option, specializing in both German and
American cuisine. They have the seating to accommodate both large banquets and
intimate family dinners, and every entrée comes with access to the salad bar.
Steger Haus is open Tuesday to Sunday year-round, and also full-bar service –
so stop by for a few drinks with some friends, or order a few glasses of wine
at dinner! Keep an eye out also for their ongoing specials: $13.95 prime-rib
Wednesdays, or stuffed pork chops for $17.95 on the first Saturday of every
month. A great lunch or dinner option for the whole family.
5. Burnap’s7277 Maple Ave. Exd, Sodus NY
Burnap’s
Farm Market and Garden Cafe is typically known best for the “farm market” part
of their title over the “garden café” part. They sell delicious fresh fruit,
baked goods and ice cream, and their playground, goats to feed and seasonal corn
maze make them a perfect place to let kids run around while enjoying a treat.
But Burnap’s has recently expanded both seating and full-meal menu options,
making it a great place to stop not only for a quick treat - but for lunch or
dinner, too. They offer a number of
different salads, wraps, sandwiches and pizza, as well as a kids’ menu. And
don’t forget to take some of their famous farm-grown fruit for the road!

Nick’s Family Restaurant7934 Ridge Rd
E, Sodus NY
Nick’s
Family Restaurant is a classic in Sodus, and as the name suggests, great for
the whole family. They offer all sorts of dishes, and are especially known for
their affordability. An extensive breakfast (and breakfast for dinner) menu,
sandwiches, salads and wraps, burgers, seafood, chicken, steak, Italian…the
list goes on an on. Go for a late breakfast or brunch here with the kids, or
stop by for dinner when your group can’t decide on what they’re in the mood
for. Nick’s specialty is variety.
SODUS POINT RESTAURANTS

Captain Jack’s Good Time Tavern8505Greig

Probably
the most well-known restaurant in Sodus Point, Captain Jack’s is open
year-round and not only offers prime seating next to the lake – but even
several private docks to park customer boats while they eat! The restaurant’s

Another
Sodus Point restaurant, Bay Street stands out not only for its rustic décor
